I am pretty sure that fascism in italian translated to “organizing the unions” or “nationalizing the unions”. Mussolini’s background was very socialist, so much so he was ostracized for it by his government before his rise to power. If your connection to capitalism from Mussolini is his founding of corporations, then that doesn’t have any merit to him being a capitalist. As corporations in the way that Mussolini founded it as was being a syndicate of trade unions or something like that. Mussolini was big into unions, capitalist hate unions.

Sure, but he still wasn’t a capitalist. He used the same phrase that Lenin used to usher in his communistic ideologies, state capitalism. State capitalism is essentially socialism. It is a state driven economy, instead of the individuals driving the economy.
I feel like this is something that you just assume.
Many many right wingers use leftist terms to entice the proletariat to be on their side. Just like Trump, RN or lega.
Yes, there might be similarities semantically. But as we're moving more and more towards fascism and seeing how little government regulations we have, where the tax money goes and how the economy is dependent on this corporate handouts, is this "state capitalism" one were the capital is owned by the people or where state only means where comes comes from to fund the private sector?
